HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM, May 27, 2013 - (ACN Newswire) - With a gathering of more than 60 Taiwanese firms at the Saigon Exhibition & Convention Centre (SECC), MTA VIETNAM2013 will unveil its biggest ever showcase of Taiwanese machine tools and metal working equipment. Held annually, the largest manufacturing solutions industry event in Vietnam will run from 2 - 5 July 2013 and feature 11 international group pavilions from eight countries/regions together with world class machine tool brands from Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, Switzerland, UK and USA.
A 37 per cent square metre increase from last edition, the Taiwan showcase will be housed under the umbrella of three group pavilions organised by the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA), the Taiwan Machine Tool & Accessory Builders' Association (TMBA), and the Taiwan Fluid Power Association (TFPA). The growing presence of Taiwanese firms at MTA VIETNAM is representative of shared strong trade and economic ties, especially in the area of manufacturing.
TAITRA, who has exhibited at MTA VIETNAM since the event was established in 2005, has arranged for 22 leading Taiwanese machine tool brands to showcase a series of Taiwan Excellence award winning products. "The Taiwan Excellence award is the highest accolade given to products that only represent the most revolutionary, high quality, high value added products made in Taiwan, but also display the use of innovation to create added value in the design and manufacturing of leading-edge products. We are proud to present the best of Taiwan's machine tools and equipment to the Vietnamese market," says Mr. Timothy Tso, Director, Taiwan Trade Center in Ho Chi Minh City.
Back at the MTA series in Vietnam for the seventh time is TMBA who will be bringing more than 30 companies to display a wide selection of the latest Made-in-Taiwan technologies and solutions. Mr. Carl Huang, President of TMBA says, "The TMBA and its members are excited to be back in Vietnam to re-connect with the manufacturing community at MTA VIETNAM2013. Many of our participating companies this year have exhibited at the show before and are certainly looking forward to it."
Exhibiting for the first time is TFPA, who has over 200 members that are mainly hydraulic and pneumatic small to medium enterprise manufacturers. 14 of these companies will be exhibiting at MTA VIETNAM2013. "Expanding our members' business activities has been a key objective of our association. This year, we have chosen MTA VIETNAM2013 as the main event for our members to reach out to Vietnam's booming manufacturing sector," comments Mr. Barton Yu, Chairman of TFPA.
"As one of the leading producers of industrial machinery, we are glad to see a growing presence of Taiwanese firms at MTA VIETNAM. They bring with them a wide array of solutions that can be applied to the numerous manufacturing sectors in Vietnam. Their competitive edge in terms of quality and cost effectiveness makes them an ideal choice for local Vietnamese manufacturers," says Mr. William Lim, Project Director for MTA VIETNAM2013 from the show's organiser, Singapore Exhibition Services (SES).
Taiwan ranks third in the world's machine tool exports industry, behind only to Germany and Japan, with exports reaching US$4.2 billion in 2012, up 5.9 per cent year on year. Machine tools are now the nation's biggest machinery category, with around 75 per cent of production volume exported to regions such as China, the European Union, ASEAN nations and the United States.(1)
